Nintendo Switch games dealt huge blow - but it's great news for PS4 and Xbox One

Nintendo Switch owners miss out on new Capcom game come to PS4 and Xbox One

Nintendo Switch gamers have been dealt a huge blow as Capcom announces it's intention to release Resident Evil Revelations, one of the best in the Resi series, for PS4 and Xbox One later this year.

But, not for Nintendo's new hybrid console.

As many might recall, Resident Evil Revelations was once a console exclusive for Nintendo, releasing on the 3DS handheld back in 2012.

The game proved so critically and commercially popular on Nintendo's 3DS that eventually, Capcom released it on PS3 and Xbox 360 with updated HD graphics before greenlighting a sequel.

Earlier today Capcom announced that the game would be making another return on PS4 and Xbox One as the companies ongoing plan to remaster most if not all Resident Evil games.

Nintendo Switch Games - 8 New releases we can't wait to play in 2017

Here's a collection of eight Nintendo Switch games coming to the console in 2017 which we cant wait to play

For those with shaky memories, Resident Evil Revelations is set between the events of Resi 4 and Resi 5, telling the story of Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield aboard the cruise ship Queen Zenobia in the Mediterranean Sea.

The game will be getting both a physical and digital release and should arrive "this fall".

So far no details have been provided on how much the game might cost or how it will improve on past remasters

However, Capcom have said more information about the release is "coming soon"

As mentioned, it will come as something of a blow to Nintendo Switch owners, given that Nintendo once held exclusivity over the title on the 3DS.

It's possible the game could still come to Switch, should Capcom be holding back news until they've finished working on the game.

But for the time being, we can only assume it's not a priority.

Given that the HD version of Revelations (though not Revelations 2) was available on the Wii U, many Switch owners can be forgiven for wanting to know why this Next-Gen port isn't also coming to their snazzy new console.
